The Shuttle System opened in 1992 with the opening of Terminal 2 of Narita International Airport, the international airport serving the Greater Tokyo Area.

The shuttle linked the main building of the terminal and its satellite, 279 metres away.

It was technically (and legally) not a railway, but a horizontal elevator; cars were attached to a cable that moved them, like a funicular.

[citation needed] A new walkway between the main and satellite buildings had opened on September 27, 2013, whereafter the people mover ceased operations.
